About our shower tray repair in Cotes

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We’re often asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a tray that flexes, across stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cotes and across Staffordshire.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Cotes

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Cotes

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

What areas do you cover?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Cotes?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Are there extra charges for Cotes?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
